Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancyworldwide. While bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract(BGIT) has a well known association with HCC, suchcases are mainly due to gastric and esophageal *** as a result of invasion of the gastrointestinal tractby HCC is extremely rare and is reportedly associatedwith very poor prognosis. We describe a 67-year-oldmale who presented with BGIT. Endoscopy showed thesite of bleeding to be from a gastric ulcer, but endoscopictherapy failed to control the bleeding and emergencysurgery was required. At surgery, the ulcer was found tohave arisen from direct invasion of the gastrointestinaltract by HCC of the left lobe. Control of the bleedingwas achieved by surgical resection of the HCC en-bloc with the lesser curve of the stomach. The patientremains alive 33 mo after surgery. Direct invasion of thegastrointestinal tract by HCC giving rise to BGIT is veryuncommon. Surgical resection may offer significantlybetter survival over non-surgical therapy, especially if thepatient is a good surgical candidate and has adequatefunctional liver reserves. Prognosis is not uniformly grave.

As the size of satellites scales down, low-power and compact propulsion systems such as the pulsed plasma thruster(PPT) are needed for stabilizing these miniature satellites in orbit. Most PPT systems are operated at 2 J or more of discharge energy. In this work, the performance of a PPT with a side-fed, tongue-flared electrode configuration operated within a lower discharge energy range of 0.5-2.5 J has been investigated. Ablation and charring of the polytetrafluoroethylene propellant surface were analyzed through field-effect scanning electron microscopy imaging and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. When the discharge energy fell below 2 J, inconsistencies occurred in the specific impulse and the thrust efficiency due to the measurement of the low mass bit. At energy ≥2 J, the performance parameters are compared with other PPT systems of similar configuration and discussed in depth.

Radiology（imaging） and imaging-guided interventions, which provide multi-parametric morphologic and functional information, are playing an increasingly significant role in precision medicine. Radiologists are trained to understand the imaging phenotypes, transcribe those observations（phenotypes） to correlate with underlying diseases and to characterize the images. However, in order to understand and characterize the molecular phenotype（to obtain genomic information） of solid heterogeneous tumours, the advanced sequencing of those tissues using biopsy is required. Thus, radiologists image the tissues from various views and angles in order to have the complete image phenotypes, thereby acquiring a huge amount of data. Deriving meaningful details from all these radiological data becomes challenging and raises the big data issues. Therefore, interest in the application of radiomics has been growing in recent years as it has the potential to provide significant interpretive and predictive information for decision support. Radiomics is a combination of conventional computer-aided diagnosis, deep learning methods, and human skills, and thus can be used for quantitative characterization of tumour phenotypes. This paper discusses the overview of radiomics workflow, the results of various radiomics-based studies conducted using various radiological images such as computed tomography（CT）, magnetic resonance imaging（MRI）, and positron-emission tomography（PET）, the challenges we are facing, and the potential contribution of radiomics towards precision medicine.

Industrial ecological system is a sustainable mode of modern industry development. Industrial symbiosis, a sub-field of industrial ecology, engages traditionally separate industries in a collective approach, involving exchange of materials, energy, water, and/or by-products, to enhance competitive ability and environmental performance. To construct a symbiosis analysis method, this article employs a number of parameters embodying information about materials, energy and economics as the main essential parameters in system analysis and introduces symbiosis profit and symbiotic consumption elements as the economic indicators. A modeling and simulation program is designed using the agent-based modeling approach to simulate the evolvement of a hypothetical coal-based industrial system and the change of symbiosis conditions in the process of construction is examined. The simulation program built using the Swarm library, which is a freely available multi-agent simulation package, provides a useful demonstration for the symbiosis analysis method.

Alginate is a biopolymer that has exceptional gelling properties, which allow easy gel formation under safe and mild conditions. Consequently, it is often used to encapsulate a variety of cargos, such as cells, enzymes, and lipids, and is typically employed as a model to study hydrogel-based encapsulation sys- tems. Since the first use of alginate in the encapsulation field in the 1970s, many methods have been developed to produce alginate hydrogel particles of different sizes, structures, and morphologies. This review provides an overview of the current progress in the fabrication of alginate hydrogels with vari- ous particle designs, including a discussion of dispersion techniques to pre-template alginate particles, gelation mechanisms, considerations in selecting suitable fabrication methods, and future directions.
